“Wholly unprepared, [people] embark upon the second half
of life.  Or are there perhaps colleges for forty-year-olds
which prepare them for their coming life and its demands as
the ordinary colleges introduce our young people to a knowledge
of the world and of life?  No, there are none.  Thoroughly unprepared
we take the step into the afternoon of life; worse still, we take
this step with the false presupposition that our truths and ideas
will serve us as hitherto.  But we cannot live the afternoon of
life according to the programme of life’s morning– for what was
great in the morning will be little at evening, and what in the
morning was true will at evening have become a lie.”
